KU Battles California; No.1 Rating At Stake
Kansas risks its No. 1 national ranking and Wilt Chamberlain lays his scoring leadership on the line tonight at Berkeley, Calif., where the Jayhawkers tangle with the University of California's Golden Bears.
Tipoff time is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. with the game being broadcast locally over stations KANU and WREN.
It will be a clash of highly rated teams as California boasts a 2-1 record and Kansas has gone undefeated in sweeping through four contests. The Jayhawkers will be closing out a western swing that has seen them take a pair of games from Washington in Seattle.
Chamberlain will be hoping to add to his 39.5 scoring average against a team that is rated by KU assistant coach Jack Eskridge as the best all-around foe Kansas has faced so far.

California will start 6-7 center Duene Asplund against Chamberlain with 6-6 forward Don McIntosh to help under the boards. However, 6-4 senior forward, Larry Friend, has proven California's best offensive player to date, averaging slightly over 20 points a game.
Kansas displayed good overall improvement in heating a good Washington team twice by 14 point margins. Chamberlain carried the scoring load with 67 points in the series, but Maurice King added 39 and Gene Elstun and John Parker enjoyed good shooting performances.
Kansas is still without injured Ron Loneski. The 6-5 sophomore forward is slewed by a bad foot and his absence hurts the Jayhawkers off the boards and particularly on offense. However, another 6-5 sophomore, Monte Johnson, and the veteran Lew Johnson have performed

Illini Stun Dons To Snap Win Streak
By UNITED PRESS
San Francisco's oft-postponed date with disaster has come at last after a fantastic two years and one week. After avoiding defeat through a record 60 straight games stretching back to Dec. 11, 1954, San Francisco's Dons reached the end of the victory trail last night in a "no exouse" 62-33 decade against Illinois at Champaign, Ill.
At halftime, the Illini led, 31-15, and they boosted that to 22 points, at 39-17, within four minutes. The victors reached their widest margin, 32 points, at 60-28 shortly before the end. George BonSalle paced Illinois with 19 points and Don Ohl added 14. San Francisco, shorn of graduated All-Americans Bill Russell and K. C. Jones and of injured high scorer Gene Brown, was led by Al Dunbar with 12 points.

well at the forward slot to reel up the slack.
Jayhawker reserves showed well during the Washington series and are expected to help carry a share of the playing time against the Bears. Ron Johnston, 6-1 senior forward, Bob Billings, 5-11 sophomore guard, and Monte Johnson, are all expected to see considerable action.
KU Strengthens First Place Hold
NEW YORK — (UP) — Kansas once again was a one-sided choice as the nation's no.1 college basketball team in the United Press ratings today, while a dog-fight developed for second place among North Carolina, Illinois, San Francisco and Southern Methodist.
St. Louis and Oklahoma A&M, the perennial powers from the Missouri Valley Conference, made big jumps to join this week's top 10 group in the rankings of the United Press Board of Coaches.
While Kansas, an easy winner in its first four games, widened its first-place margin to 109 points, its four closest pursuers were separated by only nine points. North Carolina, Illinois, San Francisco, and SMU also were undefeated in collegiate competition through games played last Saturday night, although the defending champion Dons were beaten by the champion U.S. Olympic team.
